Austria-Hungary
Austrian troupe engages in a very aggressive offensive to kill some
time...

Army Serbia holds (development of 250% proof slivovica in final stages)
Army Silesia moves to Munich (chronic shortness of beer to be remedied)
Army Ukraine holds (they are still snowed in and don't expect any news until June)
Army Warsaw holds (search for the treasure of Templars is initiated)
Fleet Ionian Sea holds (antique vases must be scrubbed)

Who says a war can't be civilized?
England
Her Majesty's Fleet, continuing its intensive course in the language of Chekhov and Pushkin, holds in St. Petersburg.
GM Note: The English unit in St. Petersburg is an army, not a fleet. This does not alter the unit's final location, since it is staying put. However, incorrectly naming the type of a unit might result in an invalid order depending on what the unit is ordered to do.
Her Majesty's Fleet in Norway once again sallies forth into the North Sea.
- Failed - Her Majesty's Fleet in the English Channel sets sail for Belgium, in order to replenish the mother country's supplies of Belgian waffles.
- The German Army in Belgium is able to fend off the attack of the English Fleet from the English Channel because the expected support from the English Army in Picardy was cut by an attack from the French Army in Burgandy - - Failed - Her Majesty's Army in Picardy supports the above-referenced fleet's move from the English Channel into Belgium.
- The English Army in Picardy is attacked by the French Army from Bugandy, therefore the support from the English Army in Picardy is cut. - - Failed - Her Majesty's Army in Brest, having heard much about the wine, women, and song of the French capital, advances on Paris.
- The French Army in Paris did not leave Paris, therefore the English Army from Brest may not occupy Paris. - - Failed - Her Majesty's Fleet in the Mid-Atlantic pays a visit to the lovely territory of Gascony.
- The French Fleet in Gascony did not leave Gascony, therefore the English Fleet from the Mid-Atlantic may not occupy Gascony. - France - Failed - The French Fleet in Gascony moves into Brest
- The English Army did not leave Brest, therefore the French Fleet from Gascony may not take Brest. - - Failed - The French Army in Paris Supports the French Fleet's move into Brest.
- Invalid support order. Please see the on-line rules page seven, the section "Writing a Support Order" - The support order must include the "... type, current location, and destination of the unit receiving support ..." - - Failed - The French Army in Burgandy moves Into Picardy
- The French Army in Burgandy is unable to move to Picardy because Picardy is occupied by an English Army. - GM Note: Even though the French Army in Burgandy could not move to Picardy, its single handed attack on Picardy was sufficient to cut the support of the English Army in Picardy, thereby preventing the English Fleet in the English Channel from ousting the German Army in Belgium. Germany - Failed - The Bold Belgium Army supports French Army Burgundy move to Picardy.
- This is a correctly worded support order. The reason it failed is that the English Fleet's attack from the English Channel on the province of Belgium cut the German Army's support for the French Army's attempt to move from Burgandy to Picardy -
